“Excellent host and location, would definately stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2010

Excellent location right on the door step of the Vatican and within walking distance of all Rome's amazing sights. We had a very comfortable four night stay, although room quite small this didn't matter as we were out all day. We were made very welcome and on arrival we got slightly lost and Gianluca came and found us!! Breakfast was excellent and would definately recommend a stay at Katjas.

“Great host, wonderful food, fabulous location!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2009

Gianluca was a gracious and accommodating host. My son (twenty one) and I stayed in the room with bunk beds. Although small, it was very comfortable. The food was amazing. The location is ideal - close to the train station and a short walk to the Vatican. The neighborhood is safe with lots of restaurants. I highly recommend this B&B. Thank you Gianluca for a wonderful time in Roma!

“The Pope was literally my neighbor!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2009

Roman Holiday (a.k.a Katja's B&B) was the best and my most favorite accomodation among all the other hotels and B&Bs I've tried in my 5-week European tour. First of all, the Pope was literally my neighbor for 3 nights (how cool is that?!). It was walking distance to The Vatican and accessible by bus to all other important sights in Rome. The price was definitely a plus factor given the location, the cleanliness and the safety of the B&B.

Gianluca was a very gracious and attentive host. He gave clear instructions going to his place, picked me up from the bus stop, suggested nice restaurants, prepared delicious and well-presented breakfasts, and even packed lunch for me on the day that I left (very early in the morning). It was one thing that my room and the whole B&B was comfortable, charming, safe, affordable and accessible. But more importantly, the best asset of this place was definitely the excellent service and friendliness of its owner.

I highly recommend this gem of a place if you wish to have a really great Roman holiday.

“Amazing Service and Memorable Breakfasts!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Wow - what can I say: the breakfasts here were the best we had all trip (a month long European adventure). Our host, Jeanluca (the owner), cooked us up a tasty breakfast every morning (scrambled eggs, toast, fresh fruit, cereal, meats and cheeses, vegetable plate, juice, coffee, tea, and packaged pastries) - it was a delicious start to our days. There was so much food that we had enough to pack up for lunches - mmmm! Also, Jeanluca is an extremely helpful guide; he told us about the sights, how to get around by bus, and traditional restaurants to visit. These positive aspects more than made up for the small downsides of the place (i.e., the cramped room, old furnishings, lack of A/C, etc.). Also, the location was great (a 5 minute walk from the Vatican). All in all, a terrific place to stay in Rome!

“The perfect place to stay in Rome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2009

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at Katja's B&B for 3 nights in May as the first leg of our honeymoon and we both could not think of a better place to stay in Rome. Gianluca was friendly, helpful and one of the best hosts we have ever stayed with. He (and Katja who was away) offer a home away from home with comfortable rooms (small but all you need), great food and brillant advice on places to eat and wines to drink and just all round value for money. The location is superb as it's close to everything but far enough away to offer peace and quiet...waking to the sound of church bells every morning was wonderful. Thank you Gianluca - you made the start of our trip all we could have hoped for and we can't wait to come back and stay with you again!
